Corporate Structure
Germany-based Aldi, divided into Aldi Nord (north) and Süd (south), is the world’s leading hard discount grocer and inventor of this unconventional concept.
It has a single-format strategy with a presence in Europe, Australia and the USA (where Aldi Nord also owns Trader Joe’s supermarkets).
Aldi is focused on efficiency and cost control through limited assortments, limited services, low prices, small footprints and private labels.
